    In this sermon we analyze Jesus as the bridegroom and learn what Christianity is.

    Scripture If you know anything about the life of Jesus, you know that he faced growing opposition throughout his ministry.

    Here is a very simple truth: for us to reach the world we must uncompromisingly be church the church that Christ called the Church to be.

    As we continue through the book of Ephesians, we’re getting ready to transition from the introductory blessings into the meat of this book. I want to reiterate the dominating theme of Ephesians. That should be evident by the title of our series, Jesus Only. The Christian faith will always, always ...read more

    The Limits Of Tolerance

    Contributed by Scott Maze on May 24, 2021

    There’s been a shift in American thought over the past several decades. America historically stood for the right to express any opinion. Where we used to believe that you should tolerate my views even when they were false but now, we believe it is wrong to call anybody’s views’ false.

    Find the book of Jude with me. There are books in your Bible and there are letters in your Bible, but you could probably think of Jude more like a postcard. There’s been a shift in American thought over the past several decades. America historically stood for the right to express any opinion. ...read more

    In today’s sermon we are going to examine the manner in which Paul implored the Athenians to seek the Creator, sustainer and ordainer of all life in hope that we might learn how to evangelize this postmodern culture!

    Preaching to a Postmodern Culture Acts 17:16-34 Online Sermon: http://www.mckeesfamily.com/?page_id=3567 How do we fulfill the command to “go and make disciples” of all nations when most believe that truth is infinitely complex, relational and contextually dependent on socially constructed ...read more

    Fear Not Matthew 1:18-24 December 13, 2015 Fear can be a great motivator or it can suck the life out of us.

    Be Practical, Not Legalistic Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 3,313 views

    Jesus taught the Pharisees how He desires sincere love for people over meaningless ritual, and how He desires grace over legalism. Those who adhere to ritual and tradition are often unable to love others or worship God.

    In our message today, we will see how Jesus taught the Pharisees that forgiveness and grace toward others is a necessity before worship. The capacity to extend love and mercy is something that must be present in a person’s heart before he or she is able to worship the Lord in spirit and truth, as ...read more

    How to follow God even though you have been betrayed.

    In our text this morning in John 13 deals with the issue of betrayal. With a kiss, Judas betrayed Jesus. The thing that makes betrayal so painful is that by its very nature it comes from someone you trust, someone you believe in and have confidence in. In fact, what I have learned is the closer you ...read more

    1 PETER 2:18 Slaves, submit yourselves to your masters with all respect, not only to those who are good and considerate, but also to those who are harsh. WHAT??? Does the Bible justify slavery???

     | 520 views

    When things don't go as expected, we often begin to question and doubt. By reflecting and trusting the facts, and remaining firm in the Promises fulfilled and yet to come, we can find peace in trusting HIM. The invitation has been given, "Come unto Me and find peace."

    2025.04.27. Sermon Notes. THE COMING ONE, REST ON JESUS, MATTHEW 11 William Akehurst, HSWC INTRO: When things don't go as expected we often begin to question our thinking.

    Moses And His Mentor Jethro

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Apr 11, 2023
     | 6,856 views

    The message looks at a brief incident of mentoring in the life of Moses. And without this mentoring that took place, Moses’ life could have been quite different. Let's see if we can learn some things about mentoring from God's word.

    For the next few Sundays I want to dip into the Old Testament teachings. There are individuals in the Old Testament that we can learn a lot of things about and from. One of those things is mentoring others. Currently we have several individuals in our church who have volunteered to be mentors to ...read more

    Kingdom Greatness

    Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Jul 18, 2024
     | 1,270 views

    “Whoever humbles themselves like this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven”. It is giving up claims to power and status and knowing one’s total dependence on God that counts as greatness in the kingdom of heaven.

    Sermon: The Path to Kingdom Greatness Scripture: Matthew 18:1-11 “About that time the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Who is greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven?” Jesus called a little child to him and put the child among them. Then he said, “I tell you the truth, unless you turn from your sins ...read more

    Our doubts can lead us to faith or away from faith.

    If I were to mention the names of certain Biblical characters to you and asked you to write down the first word that comes into your mind, it is doubtful that many of you would come up with similar words. If I were to mention the name of Judas many of you would write down the word betray or ...read more

    There are many types of churches today. Some are doing great things for God. Others...well, they just need to be reminded of their purpose. This message is a challenge to churches of all denominations to refocus upon what God has called them to do.

    What Kind of Church Do You Want? Mark 2:1-12 I. A Museum? A lot of old relics lying around—You can look, but don’t touch. Many of these relics have never been moved in 30 years.
